Water Treatment in Las Vegas, NV

The Southern Nevada Water Authority reports about 280 parts per million, roughly 16 grains per gallon, which is classed as very hard. If your own test shows something different, that is your reading at your tap, and we size from whichever figure applies to your home.

Some valley homes have a pre-plumbed loop, usually a pair of capped pipes in the garage near the water heater or main. Where there is no loop, the supply has to be rerouted to the softener location. We check for it before giving a price.

Size depends on household water use and hardness. An undersized unit regenerates too often and lets hardness through, and an oversized one costs more than needed. We calculate capacity from your actual numbers rather than a shelf label.

No. Softened water reduces scale, but it can wear the anode rod sooner, so the tank still needs annual flushing and an anode check. The softener changes what goes into the heater, not what protects it.

Yes, a salt-free conditioner. It changes how minerals behave so less scale forms, but it removes nothing and will not change a hardness test or give the soft-water feel. For genuinely soft water, a softener is the right choice.

That is decided by the building department for your address, whether the City of Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City or Clark County for unincorporated areas. Active Plumbing confirms it and handles any permit needed.

Yes. Crawl space houses do not have slab leaks in the usual sense, because supply and drain lines run under the floor where they can be reached. The typical work in these older homes is repiping galvanized supply lines, replacing aging cast iron drains, updating original fixtures and gas meter work.

It depends on the build era. The oldest houses often have galvanized steel, homes from roughly 1978 to 1995 may have polybutylene, and some from roughly 1995 to 2007 have Kitec, whose brass fittings tend to restrict flow before they leak. Copper appears throughout and PEX in newer building. A technician confirms the material on site before pricing a repipe.

They do, but the issues are different. Centennial Hills was built from the 1990s through the 2010s, so there is no galvanized or cast iron. Problems there tend to be builder-grade fixtures, valves and water heaters wearing out, plus scale from valley water at about 280 parts per million, roughly 16 grains per gallon.

About 43.4 percent of homes in the city are rented. In most cases the tenant should contact the landlord or property manager, who authorizes the repair. Active Plumbing can work with owners and managers directly and confirms who is approving the work on the first call.
